Frequently asked questions

  • What is the average hourly rate for a landscaper in the UK?
    Landscapers typically charge £18–£32/hr nationally. In London and the South East, expect £24–£42/hr. Hard landscaping (patios, decking, walls) commands higher rates than general garden maintenance.
  • How should landscapers handle seasonal slow periods?
    Use your actual billable hours across the full year, not just summer months. This naturally pushes your rate higher to compensate for quieter winter periods.
  • Should I charge for materials separately?
    Always. Materials should be invoiced at cost plus a markup of 15–25%. Never absorb materials cost into your labour rate.
